Functional Fitness 4 Kids, Inc. (FF4K) was created in January, 2005 to put a dent in the current youth obesity epidemic by increasing physical activity in adolescents and teens through FREE, after-school classes that provide fitness training, nutritional information and healthy snacks. FF4K workouts are designed to increase self- esteem, decrease body fat, increase strength & endurance, prevent sport related injuries, increase kids' cognitive ability and build a sense of "team" through partner and group exercises.

Target audience: Initially, the program will be offered to 4th - 8th grade students. There are no fees necessary to participate; this will enable children from low-income families to actively take part in the program. Also, there are no tryouts or cuts so all students - athletic and non-athletic, fit and unfit, boys and girls will be served.
